Belmont Station: 1000 Bottles of Beer On The Wall

Take one down, pass it around.... and there are still 1,000 bottles of beer on the wall at Belmont Station. If you are looking for a place to pickup some beer for the 4th of July festivities, this is the place. There is a HUGE selection of local, specialty and imported bottles that are enthusiastically selected by obsessive beer aficionados (read: brew nerds).

Unlike the sad sentinel soldiers that inhabit the regular grocery store brew sections, Belmont Station stores their bottled babies under UV-filtered lights and rotates them for freshness. If you just can't wait to get all the way home to taste your fun new beer selection, you can drink it at the attached Belmont Station Biercafe. Order some food while you swill or just purchase and glug while you continue your shopping. The Belmont Station Biercafe always keeps a rotating selection of 12 beers on tap for those who just want to relax and try something new.

Check the Events Calendar to find out about fun tastings and brewer meet-n-greets.

Here are some upcoming events at Belmont Station:

Thur. July 2 ★ 6-8 PM ★ Bridgeport Tasting & Meet the Brewer
Sample the just released Stumptown Tart and the entire lineup from this 25 years running Portland craft brewer. One of the brewers will be on hand to guide you. This year's Stumptown Tart is a blend of wheat ale with 50% aged in wood and 50% ale infused with Oregon Sour Pie cherries.

Tues. July 7 ★ 6-8 PM ★ Canned Craft Beer Tasting
In many ways the can is a better storage medium for beer than a bottle. The can doesn't leak at the cap, it completely blocks light, it's lightweight, etc. At long last when you choose cans you don't have to drink industrial generebrew. Now we have Caldera Amber, Pale Ale, & IPA, Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale, Old Chub Scottish Ale, & Gordon Imperial Red Ale, Big Sky Moose Drool & Troutslayer, and New Belgium Fat Tire. Sample them all fresh from the can tonight!

Wed. July 8 ★ 6-8 PM ★ Redstone Mead Tasting
Redstone Meadery Founder, David Myers, will be offering samples of several varieties of his award winning mead, including the new Nectar of the Hops. They will also have Nectar of the Hops on draft in the Biercafe, I mean Meadcafe (well, briefly!)

July 10-16 ★ Celebrate the Sour at 3rd Annual PUCKERFEST
A celebration of Sour Beers. July 10-16 in the Belmont Station Biercafe.

If you are looking into getting a keg for a party or event, many local breweries, brewpubs and distributors can sell you a keg directly. Not to deter you from using Belmont Station, but contact these direct routes first before calling Belmont Station. Oftentimes, they sell their kegs to Belmont Station at the same price they will sell to you, making it impossible for BS to match their price. There are a lot of kegs available, including small craft batches -call ahead to reserve and look at the SPECIAL KEG INFO online.

Stop by the store to peruse the current stock, check the list online or give Belmont Station a jingle to find out if what you are hunting for is available.
